Ireland’s liquid heroes

Galgorm Resort and Spa, County Antrim

Over the last decade, the island of Ireland has enjoyed a renaissance when it comes to the creation of top-quality libations. A wave of new, independent craft breweries are producing an abundance of phenomenal beer and cider, while an upsurge in demand for our native spirit has led to the island of Ireland being regarded as a must-visit location for whiskey connoisseurs. And whiskey isn't the only spirit experiencing an upward curve, as new artisan distilleries look to the very best local ingredients to create high-grade gin and vodka infused with Irish botanicals.

Of course, there's no better place to enjoy a dark and creamy porter or a caramel-coloured whiskey than by an open fire in a traditional Irish pub. Whether you prefer the indulgence of an Irish coffee, the velvety caress of a pint of Guinness or a floral-scented Irish gin, a warm welcome awaits at one of our many authentic and atmospheric watering holes.
